Sometimes I can't believe what I am reading and it happened again today. I went onto goal.com and read that the UEFA president Platini is ready to consider European Super-Championship plans.


No, I hadn't heard of it either. Apparently some of Europe's top clubs have been secretly talking about a brand new football competition which will totally discredit the Champion's League.

Europe’s top clubs (such as Manchester United, Barcelona, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Chelsea and Real Madrid) are ready to break away and form an elite three-tiered ‘Super-Championship’. This is thought to be happening because clubs are in money crisis.

Clubs are only in money crisis because they are spending stupid amounts on players, if the money in the transfer market went down, it would benefit everyone.

This would devalue the Champion's League and I am against the idea, it is ridiculous.

Platini is apparently ready to consider the plans, he said “UEFA is a democratic organisation, [really?]”
“We will listen to everyone and we will seek the view of all stakeholders. And then, when the time comes, it will be up to the executive committee to decide.” If it is anything like the English FA's 'executive' committee who decide on red cards then we will be in big trouble.
